St. Joe 4/10

[mriversinco]

Finally got to St. Joe to fish on Sunday.

We ended the day 16 for about 20 or so. 14 coho and a pretty nice king. Got our three man limit in about 4 hours. As we were reeling in, there was one last one on a rigger but we were able to revive it and send it on it's way.

We thought we'd troll the mud just north of the pierheads but actually hit them just inside of that. In about 20' of water or so, about 200 yards inside of the pack of boats. After the first 10 or so fish, we noticed the pack came to us and it became combat fishing in a hurry with some idiots going perpendicular to everyone else. The last few fish took a couple of hours but we limited out by noon or so. I honestly think the fish were a little boat shy.

Just about anything caught fish including riggers with orange flasher and green fly. Couldn't get anything on thinfish and spoons so ended with all rapalas. Blue and silver seemed to be the hottest, but firetiger and bleeding olive did ok too.

2 color lead, and riggers at 10-12 did the best. Finished the limit by stretching boards out a ways when the combat pack left us, and put a 1 oz. dive bomb weight on all mono and put it at least 150ft behind the board.

Hope this helps.......
